today i woke up a little off kilter. not enough sleep plus the drinking and drugs provided a healthy numbness in my brain. i drove to work listening to stern again. having had enough of his usual whining, i was actually going to change the station. until he started talking about the bill that passed through the house of reps. yesterday. the bill that is going to increase the fines for indecency to $500,000 per person, per station. under the bill a person could actually be fined upto $3 million a day. just for saying something the government doesn't like. they can't actually tell you what you can't say, that would be limiting your free speach. so instead they just tell you after the fact and fine your ass. a little scary.
when i got to work i visted CNN.com and saw a news story about a
women being arested for childbirth. odd, i though having kids was legal. they arrested this woman for murder because she didn't want surgery. it wasn't that long ago that these surgeries didn't exist. they didn't arrest all of those people did they? granted, its not the best picture a woman could want but i'm not convinced this child should have been born at all. having an unwanted child is far cruler than any abortion or misciarrage. now i'm a little more scared.
next i hear that entertainment weekly put out a list of the funniest people in america. cool, maybe i'll take a look. hey, they think chris rock is the funniest man out there. great, but then a little farther down the list, they're trying to tell me ellen is more funny than bill murray. more scared still.
so i'm feeling a little political today and the light numbness has been replaced with a general paranoia, and i decide to check out some off beat political sites. granted i should be working but hey, its friday. so i visting one of the
sites brian once posted. this is the scariest thing yet. i knew our media was corrupt and probably not giving us all the real news, but this level of influance is obscene. reguardless of what you want to call it, its mindcontrol. if people can influance what we see and hear to that type of mass level, they are using mindcontrol on us. plain and simple. these types of subliminal messages are ilegal anywhere else but our government happily enjoys their benifit. now i'm all out paranoid and scared.
maybe i should revert to the happy numbness of drinking and drugs.
